first three weeks of August has been characterized by
tie dullness which always marks this There
FORE the dry goods dealers have not expected to

LONDON, July 2l.-Dr. Tanner,
home ruler, member for middle Cork,
appeared in commons this evening in
obedience to "a summons that he had
called Walker Hume Long damned
snob," and used other offensive lam
guage. DR., Tanuer said Long had
badgered him repeatedly about his
(ranner's) exclusion from the division
and said "That was II nice sell you
got.' DIR. Tanner was sorry for reply
ing to Long as he did and withdrew
the expression. Sir Julian Goldsmith,
liberal unionist, asked that the matter
be dropped now. W. II. Smith said
that Tanner had offered no explana-
ton of his absence last Monday and
parliment must record its sense of his
conduct. If n months suspension
was too long it could be shortened.
After IL lengthy discussion between
Gladstone and Smith the latter with
drew his motion and the incident
ended.

Heavy Mining Deal.

Special 10 the REVIEW.
BUTTE, Mont, July 2l.-The news
of the consolidation OF the Montana
Copper Company's mines and the
Mountain View is confirmed. On the
deal Larrabie put in the Mountain
View, Shannon, etc., and the Montana
people all their property except two
Parrot locations and few scattered
mines. The new combination will
have half mile Of copper ledges. The
following is the deal The stock Of
the Boston and Montana Copper and
Silver Company will be represented by
an issue of 100000 shares at $25, ag.
gregating 25O0 shares full paid and
81 ,0OO, 900 in first mortgage bonds being
six per cent. interest. Stock and
bonds are to be divided as follows !;
Larabie, 10000 shares of stock and
5000, 600 in bonds; the Montana COM
pany, 10000 shares and 100000 in
bonds, and the Tamarack people, 49,
600 shares and 100000 in bonds.
This makes the Butte and Anaconda
copper mines and reduction works
most formidable competitor of the
Calumet and Hecla and may soon
seriously affect the copper market.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The presi-
dent to-day made the following APP
pointments: Jno. G.. Walker, of
Texas, to be secretary Of legation and
consul-general at Boga; Thos. Bar
bour, of Virginia, to be consular clerk
Of the United States.
PETITION DENIED.
Acting Secretary Muldrow has de-
MED the petition from the Central Pa
cific railroad company filed on May
Sd, asking that the commissioner Of
the general land Office be instructed to
forthwith issue patents to the Central
Pacific company for lands on their list
amounting to 194,051 acres, lying
within the Sacramento, Cal, land dis
trict. On March 10, 1887, the COM
missioner OF the general land office in
structed the local land officers at Sac
ramonto that the "non-minerap" aai-
davits accompanying list No. 80,
forwarded by the Central Pacific COM
pany was not satisfactory and
requiring the company to furnish
affidavits substantially similar to those
required in agricultural cases. To
this requirement the railroad company
demurred, and petitioned the secre-
tary, as above stated. The acting
secretary in his dissension not only
sustains the commissioners in requir-
ing affidavits based on personal inspec-
ton, but added as further require
ment that railroad companies shall
publish their lists in local newspapers
for thirty days. Prior to approval OF
affidavits of non-mineral," the char
acter of lands selected have hitherto
been occupied when based oNinforma-
ton and belief only. The above regu-
lations will apply to all lists OF selec-
tions now standing in the land office.
DECISION ON LAND GRANTS.
The commissioner-general of the
land office has completed the ad-
justment of the grant in the state Of
Kansas for the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railroad company under act OF
congress March 6, 1868, and July 26,
1866. The commissioner finds the
company is not entitled to indemnity
for losses within its granted limits by
reason of prior grants and lesser reser-
vations to the United States by compe-
tent authority, for the purpose OF aid
ing in any object OF Internal improve
ment or other purpose whatever. On
this basis the commissioner finds that
an excess of 293,43I acres over the
amount legally due has been certified
and patented for the benefit of the
road. The company claims indemnity
for all losses within its granted limits,
no matter how occasioned, and should
rbis claim, ha alIouad tba COMMA N ~
would still be entitled to 504 ,O42 acres,
The commissioner recommends that
suit be instituted by the government
TO recover the excess rs found by him.
Should this decision be sustained it
will control in the adjustment of all
grants of like character.
